Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Support for Intensification of On-Farm Production:(Cost $85.00 M) Component 2: Value Addition and Market Access:(Cost $45.00 M) Component 3: Policy, Regulatory and Institutional Support:(Cost $10.00 M) Component 4: Coordination and Management, and ICT Platform:(Cost $10.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High High Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Board approved the ACDP on April 9, 2015. The project became effective on January 23, 2017, with an original closure date of March 31, 2022. In December 2021, the GoU requested a no-cost extension of 18 months from the World Bank, and the Bank approved the request in March 2022. The project closure date is extended by 18 months to September 30, 2023. As of November 05, 2022, total project disbursement amounted to USD122.6m, representing 82.3%, while expenditure totaled USD109.6 million, the utilization rate of 89.6% of funds disbursed. All PDO-level results framework indicators are on track to achieve the targets. 399,245 farmers placed orders for inputs and 298,983 (75%) redeemed vouchers for inputs. Crop yields for four of the five priority crops increased between 47% (rice) – 86% (cassava), while the performance of beans declined due to poor weather. 359 FOs (209 ACCEs and 150 RPOs) with a membership of 175,177 received matching grants worth UGX 111Bn (UGX 36.6Bn FOs contribution), of which UGX 62.2Bn has been disbursed to grantees. 287 storage facilities with a capacity of 52,920 MT have been completed, and 179 agro-processing facilities have been installed, of which 139 (44%) are 1/6/2023 Page 1 of 12 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Agriculture Cluster Development Project (P145037) operational. The rest are yet to be connected to power. 95 road chokes over a length of 275 km in seven districts valued at US$3.5 million have been completed except for bridge works in one district that had stalled at 70%. The agreement has been reached to resume. The above progress notwithstanding, the timely delivery of project activities and results are issues of concern given the short time left and the underutilized project resources. A comprehensive work plan and a clear strategy are needed to fully utilize the available project funds (USD 30.2 Million) in the remaining extension period of nine (9) months. The new e-voucher management agency has demonstrated adequate management of the e-voucher with a high redemption rate (92%) and short turn-around and system response times. Strong MAAIF and PCU support are required to ensure full utilization of the last cropping season of Mar – May 2023. Considering the above, the overall project performance rating remains Moderately Satisfactory.
